You can't take the "load" off the front tires by modifying the tires or their pressures. Load is load. You can shift weight back on the frame, but not sure how you would accomplish that. Then you would be adding weight to the rear tires, so you would be in a Catch 22 situation. Sorry, you aren't old enough to remember Catch 22.
As far as riding it on pavement, you will wear out tires more quickly than off road. We can't advocate riding an unlicensed vehicle on a public road, so you would have to be the judge.

The fact that your front tires are wearing means that your driving style needs the traction.
If you reduce the pressure on the front tires to prevent wear that means you will have to either slow down a lot or loose control.
Your front tires are working hard for you.................enjoy but don't get hurt!

The is hard on the tires and wears them out faster then off roading, but you could also have a alinement problem too, causing the tires to wear faster on the road the you won't notice as fast off road.
